if a person cannot do one pull up, it's disgraceful. That means that they cannot pull their own body weight up. Think about that real hard. A person should be able to pull themselves up, or push themselves up

Exactly. However, the so called coach has problems grasping such a difficult concept.

Coach you are a fraud. GB is sick and tired of your self opinionated diatribes

they justify the suit by sayin it's a saftey issue...lol...protects shoulders etc. Yes, the suits are a joke. So to is bouncing the bar off the chest etc. Powerlifting is a joke. It has no credibility, full of fat pieces of shit. But hey, Coach believes it is a sport...lol...Coach get a clue you irrelevant cum stain.

suits, t shirts and the things put on hends for bigger deadlift power are simply cheating, why not go ahead and use a crane, then?

on deadlifts and particularly on shrugs i get brutal performance bost using straps.i couldnt believe the difference, much more than a cycle would grant.

just for comparison

true. Powerlifting is just an excuse to be fat and undisciplined. It is easy to gorge yourself day in and day out. It is easy to put on a suit and do half rep lifts and confince yourself that you are working out. All pathetic. Yes coach, pathetic.

Have you ever been to powerlifting competition?

I was and I saw these guys

And more. Everyone was shredded or at least lean. Fat guys competed in super heavy weight... Like 3-4 fat guys out there. Rest was under 15% bf.

i like powerlifting.however there are alot guys in it who are just flat lard asses.also i think that since america is gotten fatter its obvious that that plenty of fat people think its the sport for them since so many others do it.in the 70s 80s it seems the guys were leaner and more solid by a mile.not visble abs...but certainly in better shape.

err..how does that explain the heavier guys having to be fat?Whats the point of being fat at all?

When building strength it is, for some reason, very good to eat ton of food. You don't use those calories anyway so they get stored as fat, but for some awkward reason it still makes a difference when it comes to strength

I will compete under 74kg, I was 82kg at my fattest. Now I am dieting down and trying to maintain my strength. This is basicly how it's done in PL, I have no idea why, but maintaining weight is not as efficient.

Big guys don't have to diet down because of weight class so they don't bother.

When you compete in powerlifting - you're not competing against the blimps, unless you are one. It's a level playing field. Sucking a judges dick isn't going to give you 10 more pounds on your squat. If you feel inadequate, generally you'll fixate on the blimps because they are the ones who are lifting the most, but that's not how a meet works - those people are not considered "above" the lower weight categories. In fact, generally, the "star" of a powerlifting meet is the guy with the highest bodyweight to lifts ratio.

you are still having difficultly grasping the concept of exercise funtionality. Furthermore, the fact that this is not included within the thread title is totally irrelevant. Now you crawl back up your hairy ass. YOu are irrelevant around here. bye bye anal wipe.

Ron's put you in TO, what? 10 times? Seems the lack of having a life along with me taking up real estate in your empty head has taken it's toll. When you're ready to debate this in a civil manner, then you may speak. But obviously you have your gimmick head clean up your ass.

Do you think everyone is built to squat or deadlift? Do you think everyone, with a mechanics dysfunction SHOULD squat or deadlift regardless?

Maybe not competitively and there may be certain limitations, but I see nothing wrong with people following a natural plane of motion using their natural range of motion with weights.

I don't believe that. At least not a loaded back squat. Front squat, goblet, maybe, but someone with, for example, kyphosis, hyper-kyphosis, no way. When we test out our athletes before they train with us, there are some that flat out are not built to squat.

some people do have trouble with squats and Deadlifts. People with long legs and back genrally have problems.. The best are the smaller thick set guys. Look at Franco he could Deadlift quite heavy. Do not think Tom Platz was that tall either..had a perfect body for squats
